Saturday night, I along with my boyfriend and good friends, Candice and Gina, went to the Jill Scott Summer Block Party concert at Chastain Park Amphitheatre in Atlanta, GA!! Though the evening was a lot less than perfect (…a tale worthy of its own blog post), Ms. Jill did not disappoint.
The Review: Kem opened up the concert and was a little less than exciting in my opinion (not really a fan), however, his true fans thoroughly enjoyed the show. DJ Jazzy Jeff got it in though!! He kept the party hype in anticipation of the headliners appearance. The crowd went wild throughout his entire collage of classic old-skool hip hop spins: Summertime (Will Smith), Rock the Bells (LL Cool J), Real Love (Mary J. Blige). And then there was Jill…
She shocked the crowd when she stepped out on stage with her new hair cut; yep, boy short and still she was fierce. Jill’s voice stirred my soul and according to my friend/neighbor, Candice, her sexy lyrics mixed with the 104 degree Hotlanta heat had her wanting to come out of her panties, and church fan herself!!! If we had popped another bottle of wine, we would have been outside at Chastain panty-less and church fanning together!!!
I score this concert 8 out of 10 so if you weren’t there, you missed out and if you haven’t picked up Jill’s latest CD, The Light of the Sun which dropped last summer, you are slow! Go get it and take the lessons in love and loss, redemption and reaffirmation that Ms. Scott sings in soft lullaby and soaring big notes wrapped up into some of the best music out today.
Check out TLJ’s Photos from the concert and tell us about your favorite Jill Scott song!
Signing out,
Ms. Me
P.S. my favorite is A Long Walk from her debut album, Who is Jill Scott!!
